Persian calligraphy artwork by Somayeh Gholami

Description: This contemporary Kufic-style painting is created using a single letter, transformed and repeated to create a continuous visual movement from the top toward the bottom of the composition.

The letter appears to be descending through the space, creating a sense of movement, flow, and transformation. By isolating one letter and exploring its form, the work shifts the focus from language and readability toward geometry, rhythm, and visual expression.

The simplicity of the single letter becomes the foundation for a larger abstract composition, reflecting my contemporary approach to Kufic calligraphy, where the letter itself becomes an image.
